Bio

Hello. I am Marle. I am a writer writing under various names and I do projects.

In the last 10 years, most of my work has been around refining and grasping my purpose, and the meaning of my work, and mastering my skills as a researcher and project manager. It has also been about trying to offer a different perspective on the role of citizens in facilitating the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production, inspiring people and guiding them in whatever mastery journey they were on. This blog has been appearing daily or weekly for almost a decade. My main inspiration for the creation of this blog is Seth's Blog. I was inspired by the simplicity of his outputs as well as the dedication and consistency. 

I've spent most of my professional life as a community builder in the charity and voluntary sectors. I also worked for local government and universities. I've also used my skills and abilities freelance for various starting companies focusing on sustainability, mental health, health and wellbeing as well as within the art and socially engaged art practices. Learn more about my projects (here).

I enjoy writing content for websites and building them (e.g. Leicester Fixers Eugenie Bitty Arts). I've written most blog posts on Quetzal and worked with graphic designers, website builders and volunteers to bring it all together. I also manage various Instagram and Facebook pages.

I enjoy collaboration and projects and ultimately discussing ideas that will inspire change. 

Enjoy the blog

Elderly Aunt Molly is ill. Nephew Tom visits her and helps her because he loves her. Nephew Bob visits her and helps her because he hopes to be rewarded in her will. Nephew Dave visits her and helps her not because he desires to help but because he believes it is his duty. (Modified Version of case by Bowie and Beauchamp,  Ethical Theory in Business  (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, 1979) 16-17. 2. A two-year-old is drowning. Ruth flings caution aside because she desires to save the child and jumps in, but she cannot swim. Thus, she fails to save the child. Sue can swim, but is afraid that the child will pull her under. She does not save the child. The consequences were the same in each case, but the motives of the agents were different. According to utilitarianism, each person's action was of...

 "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water"  Here are the beautiful words written by Rabindranath Tagore, painter, poet, composer, playwright, philosopher and social reformer. I read them in the preface written by Albert Chaitram Persaud, Founder CAREIF for the report "Improving the Mental Health of South Asian Populations in the United Kingdom" written by Gnanapragasam S.N. and Menon K.V. (2021) on behalf of CAREIF and Ethnic Inclusion Foundation. One of the key recommendations in the report is to ''provide a culturally competent workforce with appropriate cultural competency training so that care provided appreciates cultural (religious/spiritual/faith), historical and gendered influences of South Asians''. While further training is always welcomed, it should not stop organisations to jump right in engaging with communities from various ethnicities, cultures and backgrounds. As humans, we have the innate ability to cr...
